When you upgrade to Office 365, you can retain the tools you already use – Office 365 is compatible with Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, OneNote and Publisher.

New features such as Exchange and Sharepoint allow you to take advantage of the new cloud based reach of Office 365 as well.

More Access

Office 365 gives you the ability to access all of your important contacts, documents, emails and calendars from remote locations.

You also gain the ability to view documents seamlessly on either Apple or PC products, regardless of the original platform that created the content.

Collaboration & Security

As documents are shared, a robust security structure must in place. One of the most important Office 365 services is its password portal that allows you to share large proprietary files with multiple people without having to worry about an information leak or security breach.
